“I will not trust anyone else with my babies. Sara I'd absolutely amazing. She really cares and does an amazing job. She sends pictures and takes care of my fur babies like her own.”
“Caleb was terrific. My pets (dog and cat) warmed up to him immediately. He helped out at short notice, was eager to do his best for my pets, asked the right questions and during the meet and greet made a great effort to get familiar with the animals, so they'd be more comfortable. I would highly recommend him if you need a pet sitter. And he is just a lovely person too-even made me a welcome home dessert!”
“Adrianne was wonderful! Our three Chihuahuas loved her! Took interest in the instructions we left. She went above and beyond, watering our plants, putting the garbage out for pickup and keeping the house in good order. Would definitely have her dog/housesit again.”
About: I was a kennel technician for a little over 3 years and have fostered pets most of my life, I miss working with animals but had a career to focus on I work 9-5 on Tybee currently but make sure my own pet gets very consistent long walks before and after work every day and playtime at lunch on my days off❤️❤️ My dog has fantastic recall that we work on regularly with positive reinforcement. I also specialize in leash training stubborn puppies that like to pull
“Katelyn took great care of our sweet pup with a last minute booking due to a family emergency. Zeke was tuckered out from all his fun all weekend long. Looking forward to rebooking for future pet sitting needs :)”
“Emily is the best! She always ensures our pets are well taken care of and loved! She took our dog on extra long walks and when we came back the house was probably cleaner than when we left it. Highly highly recommend.”
“Clarissa is the absolute best pet sitter! She loved on my babies and catered to them the entire time. I got lots of pictures. She made sure to stick to their schedule as close as possible. I couldn’t have asked for better care. She’s an absolute sweetheart and I am so grateful for her!”
“Kaitlyn & Michael are amazing! They sent us pictures everyday of our pup & two kitties! Our big meat head of a dog LOVED Michael. They stayed at our house for a week & everything was spotless when we got home. We will definitely be rebooking & would highly recommend them! Thank you guys!!”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover who would love to spoil your dog with love, care and lots of pets while you are away from home. I am an experienced pet sitter and foster with lots of love to go around! I grew up caring for a smart and sassy Beagle mix then became a German Shepherd Mom, then fostered and pet sat for years before adopting our gorgeous husky mix pup. I look forward to helping your dog feel comfortable and safe at home while you are away. I am available for dog and house sitting on weekends and some weekdays. I work a typical 9-5 and would love to spend my weekend with your pup. As a dog mom of large breeds, safety is always my number one concern. I’m diligent about closing doors and always supervise dogs when they are in the yard. I take lots of pictures and will give you updates throughout the day. As the pet parent, I will take your lead and follow the schedule or boundaries you have in your home for your dog. For example, at my house - dogs are allowed on the couch. But your house - your rules!
“Kristin was so good to our pups. She has big yard and took great care of our dogs. She gave us daily updates and pictures on how the pups were doing. We will definitely use her again.”
“We are happy to provide a magnificent recommendation for Alexis who recently provided in-home pet and house sitting services for me over an eight-day period. Throughout the engagement, she demonstrated a high level of professionalism, reliability, and attention to detail. My dog was exceptionally well cared for receiving consistent exercise, proper feeding, and attentive companionship. It was evident upon my return that my pet was comfortable, healthy, and had been treated with genuine care. In addition, she maintained my home in excellent condition. The property was clean, orderly, and well-managed, reflecting a clear respect for my space and expectations. Communication was consistent and reassuring, with regular updates that provided confidence and peace of mind during my time away. Based on this experience, I would not hesitate to engage Alexis again for future services and offer my full recommendation to others seeking a dependable and trustworthy pet and house sitter.”
“Ivy did an amazing job watching our 2 big dogs and cat while we were away for the weekend. They seemed to be very happy with her and are already asking when she can come back! Thank you ivy!”
“Devin is amazing. It was my 1st time leaving my dogs, and she assured me their care and they sure were. I was worried but she made me feel better by her frequent responses and pictures and video of my dogs. She indeed made my travelling better by the way she took care of my babies.”
“Jessica is amazing. She took great care of our pups while we were out of town. She kept us informed, sent pictures, and left our house spotless. We highly recommend her when you need someone to love your pets while you are away.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Montgomery
Baylee did a fantastic job watching my 2 dogs for a few days! Both dogs have feeding schedules and take medications and she followed everything to a T! I received lots of photos and a video, each time my dogs were very happy! When I came back from my trip, my house was in great order. I highly recommend her and will be using her again!
We had a wonderful experience with Sam while she stayed at our home. She took excellent care of our dogs, kept us regularly updated, and made sure they got plenty of enriching nature walks. The custom artwork she created of our animals was such a thoughtful and special touch. We couldn’t be happier and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Montgomery on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 622 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Montgomery. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Montgomery walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Montgomery maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Montgomery choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Montgomery. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
